Institutional investors are organizations which pool large sums of money and invest those sums in companies.

They include banks, insurance companies, retirement or pension funds, hedge funds and mutual funds. Their role in the economy is to act as highly specialized investors on behalf of others. For instance, an ordinary person will have a pension from his employer. The employer gives that person's pension contributions to a fund. The fund will buy shares in a company, or some other financial product. Funds are useful because they will hold a broad portfolio of investments in many companies. This spreads risk, so if one company fails, it will be only a small part of the whole fund's investment. Institutional investors will have a lot of influence in the management of corporations because they will be entitled to exercise the voting rights in a company. They can engage in active role in corporate governance. Furthermore, because institutional investors have the freedom to buy and sell shares, they can play a large part in which companies stay solvent, and which go under. Influencing the conduct of listed companies, and providing them with capital are all part of the job of investment management.

Property Investing is still hot... if you
know what you are doing!

Have you done your first property investing deal yet?  That's the hardest one!

A lot of people start, but don't finish... the best real estate investing advice I ever got, starting out, was to do a deal all the way thru, regardless of how profitable it was.

Most wanna-be investors go for it... and stall out, getting discouraged because of all the hurdles and surprises that just come with the territory of doing a real estate deal.

Did you read that?  It's INEVITABLE.  No deal is smooth, rarely is the transaction cookie cutter.

So... if your new to property investing, haven't done a deal yet, do one.  You will learn more on your first deal than you do on every one after that... but every deal after that will also be a learning experience, profitable or not.  Once you've done one, you can do a million of them.
